THE PACIFIC

Mr.. VIC B. Allen, traffic agent for the
oregon Short Line railway, was recently
interviewed by a reporter on the Omaha
Republican, in which he furnishes manv
facts and said many good things OF the
Pacific Northwest, which includes Idaho.
Oregon, Montana, Utah and WASHINGTON
Territory. Among other things hs said:
The resources of this region consist prin.
cIpaIiy OF mineral. live stock, timber. and
gram or agricultural products. During the
past SIX months there has been witnessed q
very large expansion OF mining industry,
especially in Idaho, to which reference will
be more particularly made in this article.
The construction Of the Oregon Short Line
has enabled mime owners and capitaliets To
receive machinery at very much less cost
than in former days. while a general inn
provemcnt in financial and speculative cir
c'es, has led to the development OF many
new properties. Take the Wood River dis.
trlct OF Central Idaho, for example, which
yields the galena or silver bearing lead ores.
The output from these mines gave the fol.
lowing record for eleven months of the last
year:
0neen ~ ~ Hill 7,6s1,6ss
Sueeno VI the 5,69S, 916
Auanodn .... 5.C2o. S4O
All these are in the Wood River district.
The percentage OF LEAF to the ton ia 81. with
100 ounces OF silver.
Idaho is also noted for the grandeur az
her scenery, including the sublime Shoshone
Falls, owned by Omaha citizens: for her
soda springs and medicinal waters. and
seems to ave been provided bv nature
with everything that can make life worth
living. Those who have wandered am
the Rockies, and sazed upon the summits
o. the great snowy range before the sun
had climbed high enough to turn tho crys-
tai rivers into silver and light up the plains
with glory. have seen in the dim light of
the dawning day the white peaks suddenly
cleaning as though the gates OF the other
world had opened and a food Of thu radi.
ance within had been permitted to fall on
the snow; so high up that the footsteps of
man and the dust OF the world had never
been able to contaminate it. The sheen is
brighter than the stars on the sea, and the
dazzling splendor of Jewels cannot compare
with it. This plitterine is
called by the Indians Idaho" and the
nearest the English language can express
1t is 1.-The gem OF the mountains" with
which name tho Territory seems to have
been Justly endowed. As the Star OF India |
10 among precious stones, SO Idaho seems
TO be among the mountain commemorative |
guiding star to those who leave the |
East to find something a little nearer
heaven on earth. Thousands and tens Of
thousands will follow it in 1887 and the
coming years, and will not be disappointed
in their expectations.

THE N~ASQUERADE.
Large and Pleasant Gathering at
Miners Union Hall.

Last erening vas the occasion OF the
masquerade given by the Highland Club.
Enough persons we're present in costumes
to occupy the body OF the spacious hall to
it's full capacity, and the number of srec-
tators was not only SO great as to occupy
all the seats in the hall but many observers
we're compelled to stand. There is a pecu-
liar fascination to q masquerade as one
studies the characters assumed and en-
deavors to determine who may be the
actor. Guessing, a favorite pastime on
such occasions, was freely inJulsed in last
evening, and hardly as successfully as is
usual, If n we're to judge from the excla-
nations OF surprise as the masks were re-
moved. Some Of the costumes were very
rich and tasty and showed elaborate prep
alton, others were grotesque and laugha-
bic, all serving to form a pleasing contrast
and interest the observers. The music on
the occasion wal exceptionally good, and
the management may be congratulated by
the club for it's efficiency. The following
persons were among the participants:

SCHOOL BOOKS.

In both Missouri and Kansas bills
are pending which propose that the
states shall publish series of school
books for the use of the public schools,
the books to be sold at cost. The pro-
priety of such measure may well be
doubted. The rivalry, which is now
very strong in this country, between
the publishers of school books is like
ly to furnish a better edited series of
school books than can be turned out by
state publishers who would have to act
under the limitations of law. Besides
this the great authors and expert COM
pliers of school books are already in
the service of the largest publishers of
the country. The probabilities are
that the books published by state au-
thority would be much inferior in quail
ity to those issued from such houses as
Harpers or the Appletons, and would
be very little, if any, cheaper. The
state school books made to order would
almost certainly be inferior, and no
cheapness could compensate for the
loss of quality.-Kansas City Star.
All these arguments may possibly be
of consequence in Missouri, but we
doubt it, and it is the sheerest non
sense for practical newspaper man to
calmly assert that books published by
state authority would be inferior to
those of any publishing house. 1t is
just such arguments as these given
above that the publishers use, through
their agents, about once or twice year
to induce our school boards to change
readers, spoilers or some other series of
school books, to the great disgust of
parents of school children, who have
to pay the bills, and have the same
old series foisted back on them in a
year or two at another additional ex-
pense. AS for the citizens of Empo-
ria, we think we can speak for them,
and assure our Kansas legislators that
almost any action they may take, so
they do away with the chance of max
ing expensive changes similar to the
one made in our schools last summer,
will meet with universal approval
even to the adoption of universal
standard for ten years to come.

rhe PrOspocslve Roads.

Present prospects indicate bright
future for Emporia and Lyon county.
With two new roads holding their adj
vantageous propositions to extend
their lines within her limits, which,
when completed, will virtually give us
three new outlets to the east, and
therefore an assurance of as cheap
freight rates as any point in Kansas,
she should surely feel encouraged to
go ahead. with the full assurance that
she will be enabled to at least keep up
with the procession.
Either one of the propositions now
virtually before the people for their
endorsement would be of itself suffi-
Gent to create an enthusiasm as to the
future. But when our citizens take
into consideration the effects of the
building of the three new roads from
the east upon such favorable terms as
have been given us, we can not see
why there should not be general re-
joicing.
OF the Missouri, Kansas & South
western it is probably unnecessary to
give any further details at present, as
our readers are doubtless pretty well
posted as to its routes and the condi-
lions on WEIGH it is proposed to build
it.
But of the Kansas, Colorado s. Texas
it may be in order to speak word or
two. The route as now contemplated
is nearly an air line from Kansas City
to Burlingame, Americas, Cottonwood
Falls, and on from there southwest,
and the portion in which Emporia is
interested is branch from Americas
to Emporia, and on south to and
through Winfield to the south. This
company ask 5000 in bonds, or so
much thereof as may be equivalent to
SO, 600 per mile for each mile built in
Lyon county.
In connection with this proposition
it is probably in order to state for the
information of our readers that the
Kansas, Colorado & Texas is to be
built and operated by the Pennsylva-
MIA Central company, one of the
wealthiest and most enterprising cor
porations in the United States. Mr..
Anderson of Americas is our anthori-
ty for this statement, and, while he
states positively that Mr.. Long is not
his authority, he also positively asserts
that he has seen documents that are
sufficient to guarantee him in the asscr-
ton.
Should this prove true-and there is
good reason to believe it-then Empo-
ria may doubly congratulate herself
hould she obtain this branch line, as
it will give her direct connection with
the east by one of the best trunk lines
in the country.
